Ingredients.

2 ounces flour.
1 half pound mashed potatoes.
1 half ounce butter.
1 pinch salt.
Some milk to bind.

Directions.

Grease a frying pan. Mash the potatoes together with the butter and milk. Add the salt and a little of the flour, mixing until the dough is fairly firm. Sprinkle your work surface with flour then roll the dough to about one quarter inch in size. Using a 4 inch pastry cutter make as many circles as you can. You should get at least six.

Cook for a couple of minutes at medium heat until the underside is brown. Flip and do the other side. Serve whilst hot. Great with butter, syrup or jam. They are a perfect compliment to bacon and eggs... oh and dinna forget the cuppa tea!

Ingredients.

8 oz plain white flour.
2 tablespoons oil.
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda.
1 tablespoon castor sugar.
1 egg.
Milk to mix.
Large pinch of salt.

Directions.

Heat the pan and grease lightly. Mix the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl, thena add the castor sugar, egg, oil and a little milk. Stir contents into the flour and add sufficient milk to make the mix firm but still able to pour.Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto your hot pan and cook until bubbles appear on top. Flip over and repeat on the other side. How dark you wish to make them is up to you. Keep the finished pancakes between a dishtowel whilst you finish making the rest. This will keep them warm and increase their "butter melting" rating. Enjoy, bet you will never make enough!
